About the game
Smash Up: Cease and Desist is a standalone two-player entry in the popular Smash Up series, mashing together two wacky factions to battle for control of bases. This set introduces four all-new factions, Astroknights, Changerbots, Star Roamers, and Ignobles, each with 22 unique cards. It plays on its own for a quick duel or combines with any other Smash Up set to support up to four players. Fast, silly, and endlessly combinable, it's a great entry point or expansion to the Smash Up universe.
Hobbli's Notes
Smash Up never gets old thanks to its absurd faction mashups, and Cease and Desist's new factions bring fresh combos to shuffle in with your existing sets. It plays fast and loose, which makes it a great pick when you want something silly and competitive without heavy rules overhead.
What we like
- Four wacky new factions to mix and match.
- Playable standalone or combined with other Smash Up sets.
- Fast 45-minute games with easy rules.
- Great replayability from shuffling different faction combos.
Keep in mind
- Full variety requires owning other Smash Up sets.
- Some faction combos can be more powerful than others.
Who it's for
Great for casual and family gamers age 12+ who enjoy silly, competitive card battles; works as a standalone two-player game or combined for up to four.
